In the evening, Xiao Jingting’s family gathered to eat together.

“A nobleman said that he would give Wang Erhu five hundred taels of silver as long as my wife and children were separated and I lived on the street?” Xiao Jingting asked. He now understood why Wang Erhu was so active in circling around the original owner. The original body owner was also foolish to be so easily duped, and took such a scheming thing as a brother.

Xu Muan nodded and said “Yes, that’s what Wang Erhu said.”

Xiao Jinfeng with a black face, gnashed his teeth saying “What kind of person is this?! Is he so lacking in virtue?”

 Xiao Jingting squinted, with so many draggers behind him and the original body owner’s lack of aggressiveness, the original body owner really couldn’t afford to fall.

 “Did he say who it was?” Xiao Jingting asked.

“No, he said that the nobleman was very mysterious and didn’t tell him his identity. However, he said that the noblemen had left the jade pendant for him and told him to take it to him after he completed his task.” Xu Muan took out a jade pendant and gave it to Xiao Jingting.

“Show it to me.” Xiao Jinfeng said.

Xiao Jingting heard his words and handed the jade pendant to Xiao Jinfeng. Xiao Jinfeng looked at the jade pendant and his eyes floated with fury “It should be the jade pendant of the Sun family’s Sun Hao.”

Xiao Jingting squinted his eyes, he originally thought that one of the Xiao family would have tempered with him, but he didn’t expect it to be someone from the Sun family.

“Third brother, you should have no grudge with Sun Hao.” Xiao Jinfeng asked.

Xiao Jingting shook his head and said “I don’t know, Sun Hao always thought that I was a rat in the gutter and that I wasn’t worthy of pursuing his sister.”

Xiao Jinfeng narrowed his eyes and said “That Sun Miaomiao is not a good person either. Her daring to look down on you is just too much.”

“Alright, just leave it alone.” Xiao Jingting said.

Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said “Yes! The Sun family is in a mess. I thought Sun Hao was not too bad, but I didn’t expect him to be such a person. ” 

“Young Master Sun takes care of everything every day, things have been going on for so long, he shouldn’t care too much about our side.” Xiao Jingting was still a little worried that his former enemy would come looking for trouble.

Xiao Jinfeng snorted lightly and said “If he dares to come, I will teach him a lesson.”

Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Jinfeng and said “Second brother, you need to calm down.”

Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jinfeng and said “Second brother, I heard that you showed off your prowess again today.”

Xiao Jinfeng laughed and said “It was just a third-level wild boar that came, it was nothing.”

“Second brother is so powerful that he doesn’t even need to pay attention to third-level wild boar.” Xu Muan complimented.

Xiao Jinfeng laughed and only felt that his present days were much more interesting than before. Most of the mercenary team members came from commoner families and had an innate prejudice against nobles. He once had thought that he had integrated into the mercenary team, but in the end he only found that it was an illusion.

Xu Muan lowered his head and his heart surged with uneasiness as he thought: After Xiao Jingting advanced, his help to Xiao Jingting became much smaller, he needed to think of a way to improve his strength as soon as possible ah! Xiao Jingting’s change of heart not only comforted Xu Muan but also made him feel more uneasy.

“What happened to Wang Erhu?” Xiao Jinfeng asked with a fierce expression on his face.

“What a scoundrel. He could make some money by blackmailing, but he didn’t show off his tricks this time and he molested a big family young master from the town and was seriously injured.” Xu Muan said.

“He deserved it.” Xiao Jinfeng said.

Xu Muan nodded and said “Yes.”

Wang Erhu had come to the countryside to look for Xiao Jingting once before when Xiao Jingting went out and he unfortunately encountered Xu Muan.

Xu Muan said that Wang Erhu was a thief, who entered the house to take things without the consent of others. Then he lead other people to Wang Erhu, Wang Erhu suffered a lot and did not dare to come to the countryside to find anyone again.

Xu Muan heard that after Wang Erhu offended people this time he had some ideas about Xiao Jinfeng. However, in order to avoid the pursuers from that big family, he had been hiding and had not found a chance to leave the city.

Later, Wang Erhu met Xu Muan and, not knowing if he was desperate or ill, he actually sought Xu Muan for help.
